Father, son face charges after Christmas Day attack

A bizarre Christmas Day attack in Santa Rosa has one man fighting for his life and another man and his son behind bars.

The incident happened Tuesday afternoon in the power dam area of Santa Rosa. A couple of fishermen said they noticed a fight break out.

Then, a man turned up at an area hospital with several puncture wounds. Santa Rosa police said he was attacked by a 14-year-old, who then calmly got into a truck with his father and drove off. Police said his father admitted to them that his son attacked the man.

The 14-year-old is being held at the Quay County Juvenile Center, and his father, Jeff Cast, is also being held in police custody.

The complaint doesn't detail exactly what provoked the attack.

Santa Rosa police are still investigating the incident.
